Ssshhh - Don't tell anyone

Loew's has messed up in my favour. First stayed one night at RPR last year and then spent 5 nights at PBH this year on an AP rate. My simple math skills suggests at best 2 stays, 6 nights. Guess what just arrived in the mail -Loew's First Platinum. So what will be my strategy for getting the most of this card?

Oooh, lucky guy!!! We make very good use of our platinum card.

 

[macraven]

you are the lucky one.

i have been in contact with loews for 2 years over my status.

should be platinum but due to computor glitch they say, still at gold.

treasure that platinum baby for all it is worth !!

The guaranteed extended check out would be the best perk to me.
You can usually ask for and get a 1 hour grace period which would take you up to noon. But being able to stay until 2 or 3pm is huge. That means you can visit a park in the morning, go to lunch, then come back, shower, pack, and check out. I'd request it when you check in, and call the front desk on the day you check out to get the time you can stay till.

Sorry to hear that macraven, maybe this should be yours. Which of the hotels is it easiest to get a suite at? How many do their suites accomodate?

 

[macraven]

aw shucks, thanks calgarygary

hrh has the least amount of rooms so that place is not the best place to get lucky for getting a suite.

i would be thinking pbh would have the best shot of the suite.

congrats calgarygary! That was a nice surprise. Enjoy it As far as suites go how many are you? PBH has some great suites but I really like HRH's kids suites too they are awesome.

macraven, give loews first a call and ask for Elijah. The boy works wonders in getting status straightened out.

i have called everyone and anyone since early last year.

for some reason i have lost my credits on staying at hrh......and still at gold.

i was told by them and loews they can only go back 24 months and can not and will not reinstate what they cleared out in error.

you know what this means........more stays on site at universal....
woo hoo

If the whole family goes, there are 6 of us.
